Abstract

In applications that deal with digitally represented visual images, various forms of processing are generally required before the results are ready to be displayed. Although many of the methods used are complex, all have their roots in a small number of core concepts and techniques. This chapter looks at these common core spatial domain operations, firstly reviewing those that rely on applying transformations of brightness and color in place within digital images. It then moves on to consider geometric manipulation of image data and resampling issues.
